The Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind (RNZFB) is asking for support from those in Christchurch to check on blind, deafblind and partially sighted people in their communities.

The RNZFB has on record more than 1,200 members in the Canterbury region.

These individuals may need some assistance in getting around and accessing the essential services they need.

If you know someone who needs urgent assistance or advice from the RNZFB, please call the RNZFB Helpline on 0800 24 33 33.
